Charleston, SC – A Seriously Spooky City

Many know Charleston as the American treasure that it is. An established city drenched in over 300 years of history. What many don’t know is that it also considered one of the most haunted cities in the entire country. Charleston offers many ghost tours, haunted walks, and visits to the haunted places around the city. Visitors come from all over to experience some of the terrifying and tragic tales of Charleston’s past. If you would like to learn about some of the supernatural stories of this city’s past, but wouldn’t necessarily like to spend the night downtown, The Palms Hotel in Isle of Palms is a perfect place for you to stay.

The Palms Hotel is a short drive from downtown Charleston, SC where you will have the chance to see some of the supposed haunted areas around the city. Ghost tours are the most popular ways to see these infamous sites, and hear the stories that have been passed down generation to generation.

Charleston has been an established city and has played roles in the Revolutionary War, as well as the Civil War. It has seen plenty of natural disasters over the years including horrific earthquakes and nasty hurricanes. Through all of this, many lives have been lost, but in some cases their spirits have been said to remain.

The Old City Jail is considered by many Charleston ghost enthusiasts to be the single most haunted place in town. This Jail was the final resting place of countless criminals, many of which are said to have hung around. Folks who visit the Jail claim to feel an odd presence around them, and photos that are taken show orbs of light that ghost hunters claim to be the spirits of past inmates. There are also many other haunted places available to tour like Philadelphia Alley and the multiple graveyards around the city.

Stay at the Palms Hotel just a short drive from historic Charleston. This keeps you close enough to experience the haunted side of Charleston, while not actually having to sleep there overnight after your experience.
